Features
Equipped with a sensor that detects odors in the room and automatically adjusts the air purification level. This allows for quicker response to sudden smells, such as cooking odors or pet odors, and ensures the air remains fresh without requiring manual adjustments.
This unit does not have a dedicated odor sensor function. While the carbon filter helps reduce odors, there is no automatic adjustment based on odor levels. Users must manually adjust settings.
Equipped with a sensor that detects dust particles in the air and automatically adjusts the air purification level. The air purifier can automatically increase its fan speed when it detects a high concentration of dust, like during cleaning or when opening windows, ensuring efficient particle removal.
This unit does not have a dedicated dust sensor function. The auto mode relies on a general air quality sensor, not specific dust particle detection. Users must manually adjust settings based on dust levels.
Displays the concentration of PM2.5 (fine particulate matter) in the air. Allows you to visually monitor the air quality in your room. You can use this information to better understand the effectiveness of the air purifier and take appropriate actions based on real-time air quality data.
This unit does not have a PM2.5 display function. Users cannot visually monitor the real-time concentration of fine particulate matter in the air. Air quality is indicated by a more general sensor.
Indicates when the filter needs to be replaced. This ensures that the air purifier operates at optimal efficiency. Prevents reduced air purification performance due to a clogged filter, maintaining consistent air quality.
This unit does not have a filter replacement indicator function. Users must manually track filter usage and replace them based on recommended intervals or observed performance decline.
Disables the control panel to prevent unintended changes to the settings. This prevents children from accidentally turning off the air purifier or changing the settings. Provides peace of mind when the air purifier is placed in areas accessible to children.
This unit does not have a child lock function. The control panel can be easily accessed, which may be a concern for households with young children who might unintentionally change the settings.
Reduces the operating noise and dims the display lights for quiet operation during sleep. Allows for comfortable use in the bedroom without disturbing sleep. This is ideal for those who are sensitive to noise or light while sleeping.
The night-time dimmer function serves as a sleep mode by reducing display brightness, making it suitable for bedroom use. However, it may not have a dedicated quiet mode for reduced fan noise during sleep.
